Groundsel stem, light micrograph

Groundsel stem. Light micrograph of a section through a groundsel stem (Senecio vulgaris), showing xylem vessels (brown, upper centre). The xylem transport water and mineral nutrients from the roots throughout the plant. The smaller circles (green) enclosing the xylem are phloem vessels, which transport carbohydrates and hormones around the plant. The xylem and phloem are surrounded by large parenchyma cells (blue/green), which support the stem. At top is the epidermis, a single layer of cells that form the outer surface of the plant stem. Eosin stain

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a groundsel stem in all its intricate glory. Through the lens of a light microscope, we are granted a glimpse into the inner workings of this botanical wonder. The brown xylem vessels take center stage, serving as nature's transportation system for water and vital mineral nutrients from the roots to every part of the plant. Enclosed within smaller green circles, the phloem vessels play their role in distributing carbohydrates and hormones throughout this living organism. Surrounded by large parenchyma cells that provide support, these vascular bundles form an essential network within the stem. Atop it all lies the epidermis - a delicate single layer of cells forming the outer surface, protecting and shielding this remarkable structure. The use of eosin stain adds vibrant hues to enhance our understanding of this histological masterpiece. This image is not just about biology or botany; it represents curiosity and exploration at its finest. It invites us to marvel at nature's ingenuity and complexity while reminding us that even something as seemingly simple as a stem holds secrets waiting to be discovered. Through Science Photo Library's lens, we are transported into a world where scientific knowledge meets artistic beauty – where each slice reveals another piece of life's puzzle. Let this mesmerizing print serve as an inspiration for further exploration into our natural world and ignite our passion for unraveling its mysteries.
